Dhawan reaches career-best 24, Vijay and Jadeja move up too

Dubai, June 19 (PTI): Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan moved up 10 places to achieve a career-best 24 while teammates Murali Vijay and Ravinder Jadeja also moved up in the latest ICC Test rankings.

Dhawan’s knock of 107 in the historic Bengaluru Test against Afghanistan saw him become the first Indian to complete a century before lunch on the opening day of a Test match, while Vijay’s innings of 105 has lifted him six spots to the 23rd position.

India spinner Jadeja inched up one slot to third position after claiming six wickets in the Bengaluru Test while fast bowlers Ishant Sharma (up two places to 25th) and Umesh Yadav (up two places to 26th) have also made northward movement.
